This is a Canon 1Ds digital camera, I believe it's currently the most expensive 35mm DSLR on the planet. It's worth $14k in Aussie dollars although I have seen some grey import places do it as low as $AUD11k. Add on all the extras and the minimum retail value would be about $AUD13k. So the starting price of $AUD3k is very, very low.

The seller has 100% positive feedback, but from the last few auctions I checked they're all music or CD related, and very small amounts (<$25). It also says he's a " Member since 14-Nov-00 in United States" yet the camera is apparently located in Australia.

Is it possible that someone has hijacked this guys account, using his perfect feedback record to suck someone into "buying" a nonexistent camera at such an unbelievable price?

If it's too good to be true, well...
